First Edition. Reverend L.E Keith [Feelix Feeler]. Female Filosofy, Fished Out and Fried. Cleona, P.A.: G. Holzapfel Publishing, 1895. First edition with original pictorial cloth boards and fifty illustrations of pro-suffrage political cartoons. An uncommon text. 336 pages. Keith's tone is often tongue-in-cheek but his purpose is to promote women's suffrage. As he argues in the preface: "Is it not the man that is unwomanly, ans unmanly too, in strutting about as if he were the lord of creation? [.] Where is the consistency in allowing a woman to own property and take care of men's childrne and not giving her the power to protect either of them?" While some countries extended minor voting rights to women in the year of this book's publication, full suffrage would not be granted to American women until almost decades later. Boards toned and lightly soiled, but the front cover remains attractive and the design is still bold. Spine sunned, and bumped at head and tail, spine titles faded; front hinge worn through for 3.5" inches. One-inch chip on spine, shows shelfwear. Internal text block tight and the pages are clean and bright. Overall in good condition. As of March 2022, less than 15 copies held by libraries and institutions worldwide per OCLC Wolrdcat. Krichmar 1766.
